As the image on the projector screen continued to flicker, the foreign envoys fell completely silent.
Shocking, really shocking.
In today's Tang Dynasty, people dare to easily display such magical artifacts. Aren't those that are not displayed even more magical?
And that thing called a bicycle in the picture only has two wheels, so how can it move forward steadily?
No, I must get one.
It's not to please the king, but for careful study.
Although it is rumored that these things come from immortals, who can guarantee that they are not smoke released by the Tang Dynasty!
If we can find the flaws, we can maintain the current vassal relationship.
But if it is confirmed that there are immortals helping the Tang Dynasty, then when I return this time, I must persuade the king to make plans early.
Compared to being conquered and destroyed, voluntarily surrendering seems to be the best outcome.
In this way, not only will you not have to worry about your life, you may even be able to get a government job.
After all, it was a voluntary surrender, and the Tang Dynasty must set an example.
As for those followers, even if they can get benefits, they will definitely not get as much as the leader.
Thinking of this, those quick-witted guys immediately walked quietly towards Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong.
But among those who can come to the Tang Dynasty as envoys, how many of them are dull-witted?
Even if they didn't figure out the key point at the moment, they would quickly react when they saw those smart people approaching Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong.
So, while the projection line was still playing the video, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were completely surrounded by the foreign envoys.
"Duke Lu, Duke Chu, I was blind before. Please forgive my mistakes."
One of the smart guys was the first to admit his mistake, and his attitude was even more humble than when he faced Li Er before.
Unfortunately, just when he was about to continue making friends, a guy next to him couldn't wait to start making an offer.
"My two dukes, five thousand taels of silver and a bicycle. I'll send it to your house after I leave the palace."
However, just when this guy thought he had seized the initiative, the other envoys who had already surrounded him suddenly exploded.
"You want to buy a divine artifact from the upper realm with just five thousand taels? What are you daydreaming about?"
"Indeed, the two Dukes reluctantly gave up their love. Is this all your sincerity?"
"That's right. I'll offer six thousand taels. What do you two Dukes think?"
"Haha, you only added a thousand taels, is that considered sincerity? I'll give you seven thousand taels."
"I'll give you eight thousand taels..."
"I'll give you nine thousand taels..."
"I'll give you 12,000 taels, and it's just for one car."
…
After hearing the offer of ten thousand taels, some people wanted to increase the price.
But after hearing that there was only one car price, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly stagnated.
If you want to understand the situation, there is more than just studying bicycles.
The current situation in the Tang Dynasty is hardly a secret.
If you want to know these things, you just need to give money to officials you are familiar with.
Not to mention taking out 20,000 taels, even if he only took out 10,000 taels, he could still find out the information he wanted.
If that's the case, why spend so much money on a second-hand piece of junk to study?
Even if we can study bicycles thoroughly, aren't there other magical things?
For example, the glowing ball on the top of the Tai Chi Hall and the artifact that is playing the picture now.
We need to understand clearly what is going on.
Now a broken bicycle is being sold for 12,000 yuan, how expensive must the other things be?
And even if you are willing to spend money, how can you guarantee that someone will buy it?
Therefore, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is still most cost-effective to spend money to buy information.
After figuring out the key points, those smart guys immediately and quietly retreated to the back of the crowd.
Just now, the projector started playing videos of various fancy bicycle riding styles, and Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were quickly attracted by the cool postures.
If this wasn't the Tai Chi Hall, the two guys might have already started imitating on the spot.
When the foreign envoys approached, they thought these guys were tactless and disturbed their interest.
It wasn't until those guys started to raise the price that they turned their attention away.
You can learn cool riding postures later, but selling the bicycles cannot be delayed.
You know, there are quite a few people who ride bicycles in Chang'an City today.
If someone else takes away my business, I won’t even have a place to cry.
Of course, when those foreign envoys were scrambling to raise the price, they naturally would not take the initiative to speak.
Anyway, it's not me who raised the price, so there's no reason to refuse the free money.
When they heard someone offer 12,000 taels of silver for one car, even though they were both dukes, they were stunned on the spot.
By the time they came to their senses and were about to agree, Li Er, who was fiddling with the projector, had already spoken impatiently.
"Since you envoys are interested in buying bicycles, how can the great Tang Dynasty give you second-hand goods? I think it would be better to do this: the price is still 10,000 taels of silver per bicycle, and I will give you brand new bicycles. What do you think, my dear ministers?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, who were originally waiting happily to receive the money, were suddenly stunned on the spot with a look of confusion on their faces.
What's going on?
Was I intercepted by His Majesty?
Damn, it seems like this business was proposed by himself?
How could he do this when the deal was about to be done?
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
